When a murder leads to plans capable of saving the flawed canal construction, Marie’s status changes to active.

Now, her only chance of freedom from a life of spying lies in the jungle on the other side of the world. Can Marie sabotage the building of the Panama Canal and evade two rival detectives seeking justice? Maybe… But only if she can survive, the fever coast.
